Producer Information: Hennessy

Hennessy, founded in 1765 by Irishman Richard Hennessy in the heart of Cognac, France, has become synonymous with the art of cognac making. Rooted in the Charente region’s chalky soils and temperate climate, Hennessy’s production philosophy centers on meticulous grape selection—primarily Ugni Blanc—and double distillation in copper pot stills to capture delicate aromas. The house is distinguished by its use of one of the world’s largest reserves of eaux-de-vie, aged in French oak barrels sourced from sustainable forests. While Hennessy is globally associated with its signature cognacs like V.S and X.O., it also contributes to the spirits landscape through its parent company LVMH, which oversees other celebrated brands such as Glenmorangie Scotch whisky and Belvedere vodka, each reflecting a commitment to terroir-driven excellence and category leadership within their respective regions.
